Hope Foster's motto is to let fate lead you - which it did in her case right to the quiet town of Danger Cove. But when the owner of the Smugglers' Tavern, where Hope tends bar, is murdered, suddenly fate puts Hope squarely in the role of "prime suspect" in her employer's murder. Not only is she the last one to see him alive, but a new will also reveals that her employer left his whole estate to Hope instead of his ungrateful daughter Elise and nephew Carter.

2 and a half stars maybe
The characters were flat and lacked depth. Alex was annoying and one dimensional. The plot was barely passable. The resolution of the story was beyond belief. If there are more books in this series, I won't be buying them.

Love the Danger Cove Series
Read this book when it first came out so I had a lot of fun listening. Great performance and story. Especially love the bird. Quirky characters and a bit of mystery and romance. Recommend.
